Jump Space How to Use Repair Kit Guide
Keeping your ship alive in Jump Space is the difference between finishing a mission and becoming another wreck floating in space. Fires, leaks, and enemy fire will tear your ship apart, and sometimes quick repairs are the only way to survive. That is where repair kits come in.
This guide explains exactly how to use Small Ship Repair Kits, where to take them, and what they actually fix.
How to Use Repair Kits in Jump Space
Repair kits only work when you actively hold them. Pick one up, and you will see a waypoint appear on your screen. That marker shows you where to bring the kit.
Take the repair kit to your ship’s core. Once there, the kit automatically applies, restoring hull health. This is the green bar on your ship’s health display.
If you are holding a Shield Repair Kit, it will not work on the core. Those are for the blue shield bar instead. Mixing them up will do nothing.
Repair kits also do nothing if the hull is undamaged. They only restore missing core health, not shields or unbroken systems.
When to Use Repair Kits
Repair kits are best saved for emergencies when your ship’s green core health is dropping fast. Using them early can waste potential healing if your ship takes heavier hits later.
Coordinate with your crew so one person grabs the kit while others keep enemies off your back. Without cover, you may not make it to the core in time.
Final Blurb
Repair kits in Jump Space are simple but essential. Hold one, follow the waypoint to your ship’s core, and restore hull health when you need it most. Just remember, they only fix core damage, not shields. Used correctly, repair kits can keep your run alive when everything else is falling apart.
